Brian McFadden - Irish Son

Tabbed by: kirnehdk


Verse 1
C

C
I was born in the heart of Dublin
        F
to the holy book of rules                  
         G                                  C
Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools


           C
We were warped by the Christian Brothers
        F
In the cell blocks at our schools
       G
Get a handprint on your skin
           C
Before you break their rules


Pre Chorus 1

Am        Em
Go hit me now
          F         G
That I'm twice your size
Am                Em
Brushed off the accusations
   Dm                  G
And bowed before your lies


Chorus 1
                      C
This is the city that raised me
                       Am
With the religion they gave me
       Dm                         G
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
                         C
But it was leaving that saved me
                         Am
I seen so much that has changed me
F                    G
Just break with your past
               Am          Em
Feed your own mind
Dm         G                      C
This Irish son has moved with the times

Verse 2
C
Weddings deaths or baptizing children

               F
That's my debt paid to the church
                   G
I don't need that kind of salvation

When I get hurt

Pre Chorus 2
Am             Em
Don't fill my head with sermons
     Dm          G
And force me to believe

Chorus 2
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times

Middle 8th
D
Our father who art in heaven
Dsus2                                 Em
Come down here and make your presence known
                      A
We can't do it on our own
D
The lunatics let run the asylum
Dsus2                             Em
How can we find peace inside your home
                         A
When you can't trust your own

Chorus 3

D
This is the city that raised me
                       Bm
With the religion they gave me
        Em                        A
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
                        D
But it was leaving that saved me
                            Bm
I've seen so much that has changed me
G                       A
So just break with your past
              Bm      F#m
Feed your own mind
  Em             A                    Bm       F#m
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
   Em             A                    D
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
